Note

We do not kill any game in this video. The skills for making the various hunting tools are the focus of this film. We also try to give you some idea of the power, range and accuracy of each tool along with a sense of the expediency of it's construction. There are thousands of ways to accomplish any task and we show you a few of them.

Learn how that Atlatl works. See how this ancient weapon may have been our most effective weapon until the advent of the bow.

Wanna throw a knife? We show you that too.

If it flies, is sharp, and you can hunt with it... you'll see it in this video
